Answer:
Both Scott and Tara have responded correctly.
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The area of a trapezoid is equal to
A=(1/2)[b1+b2]h
we have
b1=16 cm
b2=24 cm
h=8 cm -----> <em>Note</em> The height is 8 cm instead of 18 cm
substitute
A=(1/2)[16+24](8)
A=160 cm²
<em>Verify Scott 's work</em>
<em>Note</em> Scott wrote A = (1/2)(24 + 16)(8) instead of A = 2(24 + 16)(8)
Remember that the Commutative Property establishes "The order of the addends does not alter its result"
so
(24+16)=(16+24)
A = (1/2)(24 + 16)(8)=160 cm²
<em>Verify Tara's work</em>
<em>Note</em> Tara wrote A = (1/2)(16+24)(8) instead of A = (16 + 24)(8)
A = (1/2)(16+24)(8)=160 cm²
Answer:
the answer is 150
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
n = -5
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for n:
n + 2 = 4 n + 17
Hint: | Move terms with n to the left hand side.
Subtract 4 n from both sides:
(n - 4 n) + 2 = (4 n - 4 n) + 17
Hint: | Combine like terms in n - 4 n.
n - 4 n = -3 n:
-3 n + 2 = (4 n - 4 n) + 17
Hint: | Look for the difference of two identical terms.
4 n - 4 n = 0:
2 - 3 n = 17
Hint: | Isolate terms with n to the left hand side.
Subtract 2 from both sides:
(2 - 2) - 3 n = 17 - 2
Hint: | Look for the difference of two identical terms.
2 - 2 = 0:
-3 n = 17 - 2
Hint: | Evaluate 17 - 2.
17 - 2 = 15:
-3 n = 15
Hint: | Divide both sides by a constant to simplify the equation.
Divide both sides of -3 n = 15 by -3:
(-3 n)/(-3) = 15/(-3)
Hint: | Any nonzero number divided by itself is one.
(-3)/(-3) = 1:
n = 15/(-3)
Hint: | Reduce 15/(-3) to lowest terms. Start by finding the GCD of 15 and -3.
The gcd of 15 and -3 is 3, so 15/(-3) = (3×5)/(3 (-1)) = 3/3×5/(-1) = 5/(-1):
n = 5/(-1)
Hint: | Simplify the sign of 5/(-1).
Multiply numerator and denominator of 5/(-1) by -1:
Answer: n = -5
Using the rational root theorem, it is found that your friend is correct.
<h3>What is the rational root theorem?</h3>
- It is a theorem that states that for a polynomial with integer coefficients, with q being the factors of the leading coefficient and p being the factors of the constant, every <u>possible rational root</u> is the format
.
In this problem:
- The leading coefficient is 1, hence it's only factor is
, thus guaranteeing that every possible rational zero is an integer, which means that your friend is correct.
